Résultats et livrables attendus

Students could either produce 1-2 page individual memos or work in 3-person teams would deliver policy memo of 3-4 pages, whatever would be of more use to the client. Ideally the students will be able to interact with the client via Zoom or in person initially to help make the project real for students and get them interested and invested. And ideally the client might be able to provide at least one line of feedback and rating on each student deliverable.

Exemples de projets

This project would take place in the context of a large introductory Principles of Sociology course that includes students from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and disciplines. Students would use critical analytical abilities to propose solutions to problems broadly related to themes of inequality and social justice, though which could relate to more specific issues, such as social mobility, education, development, health and healthcare, work, etc. Outputs might, for example, come in the form of short policy memos written by student teams and/or individuals. As this is a large class, this is best suited for clients who are looking for a lot of fresh ideas on how to address an issue (for example, from 30 student teams of 3), rather than just one memo from the class as a whole.

Critères supplé mentaires pour Compagnie

Les Compagnies doivent répondre aux questions suivantes pour soumettre une demande de jumelage pour cette Expérience:

  • Q1 - Texte long
    In what specific ways does this project relate to inequality, social problems and social justice?  *
  • Q2 - Texte court
    Is the project amenable to a large number of student outputs (for example between 30-100 policy memos that aim to offer fresh ideas about addressing a problem)?
  • Q3 - Texte court
    Does the project seem like a natural fit with an Introduction to Sociology class?
